David Schweikert voted against extending Affordable Care Act subsidies in January 2026 and has voted at least 18 times to repeal the ACA. He has argued that the ACA is "an economy killer" due to its costs on companies, taxpayers, and individuals. Conversely, he is committed to protecting individuals with pre-existing conditions and supports medical research and innovation, advocating for solutions such as high-risk pools and plan portability.

“I am also committed to protecting those with pre-existing conditions. An individual should never be denied coverage or be unable to afford their health care because of their condition(s). I remain steadfast in my support for guaranteed issue and pre-existing coverage protections. This includes advocating for other innovative solutions such as high-risk pools and plan portability." — David Schweikert, schweikert.house.gov/issues/health-care/”

“I don’t see the data. When you think about the complexity of a worldwide system, and the amount of data you’d have to capture … how do you adjust for a sunspot? How do you adjust for a hurricane and this and that? I think it’s incredibly arrogant for the Al Gores of the world to stand up and say the world’s coming to an end. — David Schweikert, in a 2010 interview uncovered by Hill Heat, a climate newsletter, as reported by cronkitenews.azpbs.org”

David Schweikert has consistently voted against abortion and reproductive rights legislation.

““I’m not being melodramatic, but I’m holding this little underweight baby that we’re worried about and realizing just a couple days earlier, when this child was in the womb, half this body, the majority of these Democrats, all of these Democrats would have been willing to have that baby die as long it was — had not passed through the birth canal,” David Schweikert said in July 2022 on "The Seth Leibsohn Show."”

David Schweikert has emphasized Congress's exclusive constitutional authority to declare war, citing his votes for War Powers resolutions to restrict executive military engagements, including U.S. support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.

Additionally, he introduced the Innovate Less Lethal to De-Escalate Tax Modernization Act to aid law enforcement.

“I also believe there is no greater power that Congress has than the ability to declare war. The power to declare war rests exclusively with Congress, not the Executive branch. I am a firm believer that we must obey our Constitutional duty when deciding to send our servicemen and women to battle, and Congress must vote to do so." - Representative David Schweikert, "Defense" section on his official House website.”
